Bad hair day or totally handsome?! This gentleman is, unsurprisingly a black lemur! Black lemurs are both arboreal and terrestrial which means they spend time in trees and on the ground. 📷️: Mathias Appel

Brown lemurs have a secret superpower: a fast gut built for tough food. These lemurs can eat leaves and unripe fruit loaded with tannins and alkaloids. While other lemur species steer clear, brown lemurs just shrug it off, giving them a food supply almost all to themselves. 📷: Lynne Venart

This common brown lemur's big round orange eyes aren’t just stunning, they’re hard at work! Forward-facing eyes give these lemurs binocular vision, meaning sharp depth perception for navigating the trees. #FunFactFriday 📷: Cheryl Antonucci

Indris really said "I'm a soprano, actually." New research found that indri lemurs open their mouths wider to hit higher notes in their songs, the same technique trained opera singers use to project sound. www.bbc.com/news/article...

What does this red-fronted lemur want to say? Perhaps one of these documented calls: an "ohn," a nasal sound that helps keep the group together; a "cree," a high-pitched call used to mark territory; or a "crou," an alarm call that warns other lemurs of danger. #FunFactFriday 📷: Lynne Venart
